Are You Prepared?

In the event of an emergency, how prepared are you? What if you or your spouse (or both of you) lost a job or became disabled? What if you had no power for a week? What if you had to evacuate your home quickly? Really ask yourself, Are You Prepared?
For me the answer is not at all. Or at least that was the answer until very recently. Being prepared for an emergency like the ones I mentioned or any host of others is our family's most recent new project, one we're taking very seriously.

Oh, I'm so glad you visited my blog today. I've missed you too! I've added you to my Google Reader so I know when you post.

As for being prepared....we lived in the Gulf Coast and had to evacuate a few times. It's amazing what you pack when you can't take a lot. It makes you realize what is the most important...those precious ones in your arms! But having cash was probably number one on the list. Mainly because you don't know where you are going to have to go and what to expect when you get there. Sometimes our banks were closed so we had trouble getting ATMs to work.
